Hampton Terrace Community Meeting and Elections
Hampton Terrace residents were invited to a community meeting on August 4, 2010 for discussions on forming a neighborhood organization and nominations for officers. Several proposals were put forward for consideration: the establishment of two neighborhood associations, a position strongly advocated for by the officers of the HTNA organization; the establishment of a single representative organization for Hampton Terrace, with candidates for officers to be chosen at the meeting; and a proposal from the floor for HTNA and HTCA to propose slates of officers to "duke it out" for leadership of a Hampton Terrace Organization. A clear majority of attendees voted for the option of one Hampton Terrace neighborhood organization, with a slate of officer nominees to be chosen at the meeting. As well, eligible voters in the election were defined as including both property owners, renters, and leasees. A final vote taken at the meeting approved the use of absentee ballots as part of the election process.
The City issued a memorandum on August 9 comprising the meeting notes, the slate of nominated candidates, and the results of other votes at the meeting. The NRO further stated that they would work exclusively with the nominated presidential candidates to organize the specifics of a neighborhood election, with the expectation that these be completed no later than September 30.

Grows from a downy tip;

Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”

“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
